解説かいせつ

 The elderly mother of Yamamoto Kansuke (No.18) from the kabuki play Honchō Nijushikō portrayed by Ichikawa Danzō VI is depicted in the foreground. As indicated by the title “Goyu II”, this print was created as a pair of No.18 Goyu from group 1. In act three of the play, the Nagao clan, a powerful samurai clan, visits Yokozo, the eldest son of the elderly mother, to promote him as a retainer. The Nagao clan intend to kill Yokozo in place of their heir Kagekatsu. The elderly mother demands Yokozo become a Nagao retainer, but Yokozo refuses and reveals that he had secretly been the retainer of the Takeda clan, a rival samurai clan of the Nagao clan. At the end of act three Yokozo inherits the name of his deceased military strategist father and becomes Yamamoto Kansuke.
